Climate Scenarios

Seafood Integrated Scenarios

Nature powers our economy and way of life. Water, soil, air, flora and fauna are vital to the critical industries we rely on.

As climate impacts grow, integrating nature and indigenous knowledge into planning is essential for long-term resilience.

Developed by The Aotearoa Circle in partnership with KPMG, our landmark Seafood Integrated Scenarios report is a world first, weaving together climate change, nature, and Te ao Māori into a practical, culturally grounded scenario framework.
 
This report is an update of The Aotearoa Circle’s original 2020 marine scenarios and aligns with New Zealand’s Climate Standards. It extends traditional climate analysis to include nature and indigenous worldviews, and the result is a powerful, efficient tool for long-term planning, unlocking deeper insight with minimal added effort.

Seafood Sector Integrated Scenarios

While focused on the seafood industry, the report’s insights are relevant to all sectors navigating integrated risk. It offers a way to see the bigger picture - connecting environmental, cultural, and economic realities in a way that leads to more robust decisions.
